- Add condensed milk and evaporated milk and stir until well-combined. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow some of the foam to subside. Alternatively, combine eggs, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and cream cheese in a blender and process until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared round pan.
- Cover llaneras with foil and arrange in a wide, oven-safe dish with about 1-inch of water (water bath).
- Bake in the oven for about 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of custard comes out clean.
